Edited 7-20: Toggle options are worse and do not work! I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times! "Follow me" doesn't stay turned on. App does not always allow me to toggle options (radar, daily, etc.) at the bottom. Sometimes it won't play the video...it's like it is frozen. Other times it works flawlessly. Signal or wifi connection is steady, all other apps work fine. It's a great app otherwise if these issues would be fixed.

I have had this app for a couple of years & up until a couple weeks ago i was VERY PLEASED with it. Then it started crashing every time i wanted to open the app to check something. I thought it might be my phone ,so i did a few virus scans & it wasnt. I have reported crashing & no response! I uninstalled it. Now if they fix the last update,correct the customer service aspect & remove ALOT of the ads that popup,i will reconsider using it again because it is to me alot more reliable forecast & user friendly (until now)!

Radar, and the options to use on it are good. The forecast is good. Updates are meh, at best Severe weather warnings are the problem! If they issue a tornado warning or any other major event, you better hope you hear the warning tone and go into the app immediately! If you miss the alert, then go to the app and play the short video of the warning issued. You have anywhere from 30 seconds to a full minute of sponsor ads to watch first!! You may land in Kansas before the vid plays!

If you haven't downloaded WBTV's First Alert Weather app yet, you really need to do it now. To keep an eye on Radar location of severe weather that could save your life and friends and family that might not have this crucial app on their devices. This app is great, I love it.

I love WBTV !!! I would have given this app five stars, but some features are not easy to use. Many features don't have legends to explain the display. They need to add an end-user customization in their radar section. The "past" screen only goes back a couple of hours.

The information on the app is good, but there are WAY too many junk ads, including one that claimed my "Android was hacked after visiting an adult website." Really?? How about monitoring the apps for spam lime this?
